Jen got on my facebook profile a week or so ago and so sweetly requested a new entry that I just have to comply.
Not sure if you're gonna like what Iz gots to say, though...
Because I have given myself entirely over to icanhascheezburger.com
and my brain is mush(-y peas) from studying squares and trying to fit them in round holes.
and it is grey/gray here.
Oh, and cold.
(which recently allowed for the biggest snowstorm in 18 years to hit London, shut down the city and inspire snow scupltures and snowball fights throughout the city :) )
BUT
I have
1. lovely friends.
2. Interesting things to study.
3. Fascinating city to explore.
4. Exciting calling.
5. Mushy brain.
6. Unclear future.
1. I am so loved and supported here!! My lovely Sarah friend has been living here since Nov. and is such a support/grad school therapist. Don't quite know what I would do without her! Judith, my other flatmate is also wonderful and supportive and I have a darling group of friends from my stake and also from the local singles ward which I am NOT in.
2. Anthropology is FASCINATING. I am going to do my dissertation on the transference of culture and conversion from first to second generation Mormons. Interesting...
3. Um, I live in London. Today I tromped about Blackheath, where David Copperfield went to school and thousands of thousands of black plague victims were buried and now boys play rugby on their graves...
4. Enrichment counselor in the stake Relief Society. Yes, I was wondering why I got this calling until yesterday when at a training I realized that the women in this stake had no idea that the whole program had changed three years ago. I moved here from one of those perfect stakes where things are done immediately and well--and so I actually KNOW how to get the activities/groups/clubs portion of enrichment going. So exciting!
5. See: http://books.google.com/books?id=RqYRt4e0ryAC&printsec=frontcover&dq=art+and+agency&lr=#PPA32,M1

'Nuf said.
6. Perhaps I shall move to Tahiti? Or Belize and work on a farm? Who knows?!
Maybe I should do a quiz and let you all decide my future for me....

Thank you! I feel so honored. And I'm sure the rest of your fan base was equally excited to hear how you're doing. The London snow earned a one-page article in this week of Time mag. Sounded exciting. London enrichment will never be the same after you're done with it! Is your program only one year? How are Londoners as lovers? Realizing that there is so much I want to say and ask in this little box makes me really miss you!
